The petitioner also alleged that her husband preferred spending much of his time with his concubines outside and would abandon her at home. She said the marriage was contracted in 2010 and had yet to produce any child.

Bose, who urged the court to dissolve the marriage, said: “My husband respects her external ladies more than me, his housewife, and I cannot continue to suffer in an ‘unproductive marriage’.”

The respondent did not oppose the petition, but urged the court to grant Bose’s application.

“I wish her well as she prefers to go and try another man since I am not trustworthy,” he said, and urged the court to grant the prayer without any claims.
